Stopped working in iOS 26.1

With the most recent iOS upgrade the app doesn’t work anymore i.e. you can’t take a picture, which obviously renders the app useless. Is there any fix for this available?

Doesn’t work

App started shutting down when you opened the camera function. Deleted app, lost all saved cards. Reinstalled app and it still shuts down when you access the camera.
